Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Heatherclaw bent her head down to lap the water. The water felt icy and cool on her tongue. She curled up into a ball and before closing her eyes she glanced at sleeping Lionpaw, affectionately. She closed her eyes and waited for her dreams to come.

Heatherclaw opened her eyes and saw stary cats staring down at her. Starclan! Willowshine sat beside her. Tallstar jumped down from his ledge.

¨Hello Heatherclaw.¨ He meowed. ¨I am here to give you your first life. I give you a life, for vulnerability. Ask for help when you need it. It will help you in many ways. Goodbye.¨ Tallstar faded away and a new cat appeared.
¨My name is Mudclaw, and I give you a life for determination, never give up even when it gets hard. I promise I will help you every pawstep of the way.¨ Mudclaw disappeared and another cat took his place.

¨Hello my kit,¨ The she-cat meowed.

¨Whitetail!¨ She wailed like a kit when she saw her mother.

¨I have never been so proud. I was so sad when I had to leave you. But look at you now, clan leader! I feel very honored to give you your third life. A life for compassion. Have mercy on others and treat your clanmates with love and care. I know I have only just seen you after all these moons. But it is time for me to leave now. I will watch you every moon, in you triumphs and darkest hours, until you can come and join me here in Starclan.¨

¨Honeyflower! Don't go!¨ Heatherclaw cried.

¨Goodbye my kit.¨ She said as she faded away and a smaller cat took her place.

¨My name is Littlepaw. I was forced into battling Tigerclan, I had taken a life from Tigerstar and killed Darkfoot. I was killed by Scourge soon after. No one remembers what I have done. But I am glad I had helped defeat Tigerstar. For your fourth life, I give you humility. To do good deeds even at the cost of you life, without seeking praise and rewards for what you do.¨

¨Thank you Littlepaw,¨ Heatherclaw said as she bowed her head towards the small cat. Littlepaw disappeared and no one appeared. Heatherclaw was scared. Does Starclan only want me to have four lives?!

¨Behind you,¨ Heatherclaw turned around and saw a tortoiseshell tom sitting behind her, amusement gillering in his eyes.

"Sharptail!" Heatherclaw exclaimed.

"Hello Heathercalw, for your fifth life, I give you amusement. Always have a bright side and make others laugh. A good leader is one who will make his or her clanmates happy. And isn't just seeking out greed and power."

Next, a young kit took his place.

"My name is Moorkit. I was born from a thunderclan and riverclan cat. Then brought to windclan days after I was born. I give you a life for keeping secrets. As a darkclan cat, you must live in secret from the other clans. You live under all of the territories, therefore you have hunting rights on all territories. Keep your clan hidden. Because some secrets aren't worth sharing."

Suddently two powerful paws slammed Heatherclaw to the ground.

"My name is Cindertail, I give you a life of strength. Use it well, have mercy on others. And only use your power if you are defending your clan, or trying to sneak up of new leaders who are getting their life." He purred playfully.

A small black and white tom apperned next,

"Hello?" Heatherclaw asked?

"Hello! My name is Swiftpaw, I was killed by Tigerstars pack of dogs. For your eighth life, I give you bravery. Be brave by defending those you love. But, there is a diffecnce between bravery and stupidity. Don't rush out seeking trouble because you are jealous and angry. Believe me, I know. I think you will make a fine leader. I feel honored that I get to give a life to a leader of a brand new clan!" Swiftpaw walked away happily as he left, a new cat padded into his place.

" hello. You dont know me, But I have walked with you your whole life. My name is Clouds Storm. I have walked with the clans from moons ago, now I walk with starclan. If I helped started the clans, it seems only fair I get to help you start darkclan?" He purred.

"I give you your final life for justice. Don't seek revenge and take more lifes for the ones you have lost. Honor you ancestors. And remember the lives the have lost. But never spill more blood than needed."

Suddenly, many more starclan cats appered chanting her name.

"Heatherstar! Heatherstar! Heatherstar!" But one voice louder than the others.

"Heatherstar, Heatherstar, I give you a tenth life,"

A she-cat said as she sunk her claws into her back.

"My son died in those wreatched tunnels! You have no right to start a clan there! You shouldn't be a leader in my son's resting place!"

"Brokenshadow! Get off of her!' Tallstar yelled as he pulled her off of Heatherstar by the scruff.

"Fallenleaves drowned in the tunnels many years ago, so have many other cats trying to become sharpclaws, you need to move on."

"But he should be here." Brokenshadow muttered quietly.

"If you see my son, tell him I'll wait for him in starclan as long as it takes. Heatherstar! Heatherstar!"

Once again, All of the cats started chanting her name, including Brokenshadow. I am Heatherstar, leader of Darkclan. Anyone that threatens my clan will deal with me. Heathertail raised her head high to listen to the cats that chanted her name.
